Vincent Scully Lectures
United States
Приєднався 5 лип 2017
Vincent Scully was perhaps the most revered professor of art and architecture in the United States.
While he had more than 20 books, countless articles, and a series of public television programs to his name, it was arguably his course lectures at Yale University that made him, in the words of the renowned architect Philip Johnson, “the most influential architecture teacher ever.” For more than six decades, from 1947 to 2008, his passionate introductory lectures on the history of art and architecture packed lecture halls to repeated ovations, and inspired generations of students, several of whom have gone on to become prominent architects and historians.
Working with the Checkerboard Film Foundation, whose film “Vincent Scully: An Art Historian Among Architects” inspired this project, our mission is to honor and preserve Vincent Scully’s legacy, and also to make available to the public his captured lectures, which have transfixed and inspired so many.

Vincent Scully once admired American and modern heroism, which he saw as the great heir to ancient Greek heroism and classical architecture.

Remember, watch the focus please
Carlos de Beistegui was French-Mexican, he was no "Argentine playboy."
Hi, could I ask of the year this was recorded? I'm looking to reference his quotes in an essay and I want to cite them properly.
I like to think Mr. Scully was quite the character at happy hour.
He was a baseball announcer and an architect.
Bernini was a Baroque architect
Baroque is just the late renaissance
What the 🤯 this video should be called how to escape the matrix
Thanks for posting this. BTW, the second section is mistitled. It should be "Jane Jacobs," or perhaps something else, but not "Jane Austen."
modern classic looks like the nazi architecture
Neither Venturi not Kahn were modernists. "Postmodernism" is Ancien Regime in drag. Modernism has nothing to do with symbolism...
Amazing
Absolutely ridiculous lecture.
He is one of the most important art and architecture historians. Lol this comment says a lot about you. LOL.

Why is it ridiculous?
Fantastic Thank you for posting!
He is clearly not an architect.
“Please shut the door” V.S.
thank you for sharing this fascinating material !
Wow
This lecture is a great window on the experience and thinking behind Kahn’s architecture. Thanks for posting it.
I’ve very much enjoyed Mr Scully’s lectures on UA-cam. Gifted Man, Bless his soul.
Thanks for the upload. May I ask when and where was this lecture recorded?
someone get vincent a new projector
30:23
So right about the Japanese!
The Japanese are vanquished. Likewise the Mayans, the Mexicans. And, soon the Chinese.
wonderful !
The great Vincent Scully on the incomparable Vietnam Memorial designed by Maya Lin, one of his students. Do I detect that Scully himself gets choked up at the end when describing the memorial?
Michelangelo is so damn popular because his work is in the Vatican; go to Staglieno cemetery in Genoa and see that he was really just an average sculptor. Plenty in Italy were his equal and many were better.
Muito bom 👊
He started his town there, to be continued after, folowing the path....
The professor describes everything while the camera keeps looking at the professor instead of showing the buildings...
So inspiring.... Thank you for this magnificent upload.
Absolutely wonderful.
Thank you. It truly is about some enduring transcendence and presence that is bigger than ourselves. I have enjoyed this channel and learned much. Best regards
Great. Thanks for summary of Scully’s view of art history at the end.
This is my favorite lecture on FLW architecture. And I have watched many.
Which building is he in here? lol
This is how it’s supposed to be done. Thank you so much for making this available.
Fantastic about humane public housing. Thanks
Thanks for this. It’s a treasure- what he has to say about DC and how the space is experienced; about Sullivan and metalwork. Scully talks with such ease and humanity not to mention erudition. A model to work toward
Thanks, marvelous, so glad to see. Architecture meant to intervene with nature and provide perspective on a sometimes hostile environment.
this is amazing, thanks for this
I was in his Art History class my sophomore year at Yale. His lecture were a joy. He was enthusiastic, brilliant, informative. Greek temples brought forth vivid descriptions of how the temples related to the earth and heavens and so, how they served humanity. My lifelong love for art really began there in 1960.
I am forklift driver from Poland having really good time watching this lecture. Excellent! Buy 2500 views? Few likes? What is going on? Empty world. Full of idiots, but empty.
Love it
Amazing lecture
When was this lecture recorded? Thank you for the videos.
And this is a classical example of how some men of a certain generation became university professors - without even speaking proper French or Latin. His ideas and comments on the work of the kings are almost funny from a modern day perspective. No professor would actually admire kings or their gardens in 2021 - leave alone forget to speak about kings as what they were - terribly tyrants! Classic gardens are an expression of absolutist power. How could this be beautiful? It's just a boring domination over nature and people. How many people died there during the construction work? How would sb dare nowadays to not comment on the racist statues of black people in the park? How could you forget about the importance of the French Revolution? .. This lecture really misses everything.
Oh shut up you woke snob. You are no better than anybody. How many babies have your arrogant idiots killed? You can't see beyond your nose.
This Vincent Scully is really a fascist.
Proof?
Do your research. I promise you, you couldn’t be further than from the truth. He has strong beliefs, but is one of the world’s great humanists.
Thank you René for keeping the images in focus. I gotta say, I miss those old projectors and plastic print sheets, they were always malfunctioning and needed adjustments, things just work too well these days, makes you take it all for granted.
The narrative cross referencing to explain Michelangelo's mindset is brilliant. Proof positive that history doesn't automatically or necessarily need to repeat itself in it's worst aspects. More people need to immerse themselves. Love how old art historians mimic the lives of those fine artists who worked until their death.
Turn it to 1.5x
Much thanks
